How to Find Bullion Dealers?

Where do you guys usually buy your bullion locally. Do you go to pawn shops, coin shops, or stores that specialize in PM? I can't seem to find anything good where I live.

I usually buy at a local coin show. They tend to have both bars and eagles in gold and silver with occasional platinum.

There's 1 shop around me that I hit once in a while, he's got more 90% than straight bullion in silver, and his non-graded gold is usually in short supply that doesn't last long. Haven't checked the pawns although I probably should since there's 1 all of 2 miles from the house.

Do get stuff here on the BST and a lot online - switched to Provident after the puck junk with APMEX, although I had bought from them for years and probably will again (just giving them a break).

Usually on the BST. Most times you can find it comparable (or lower) in price to local B&M shops/Pawn shops. Run a WTB ad on Craigslist/Local newspaper and see what kind of stuff you can pull out of the woodwork, just be careful though, use you're head when dealing with people F2F.

BSt here and coin shows are great. However check locally as I came across
a place close to me that sells the occasional fractional gold coin or bar for melt and
doesn't care for 90% so I go through and get the nice condition stuff for melt.
